#085: Ryland Puzzitiello on moving to LA, building a side hustle, and living everyday with passion

Listen to the full episode on Spotify or Apple.

Ryland left his lifelong home state of Ohio in 2017 and moved across the country to Los Angeles, California. Now, he’s working his dream job at Dimensional Fund Advisors, a leading global mutual fund and ETF investment firm that manages over $600 billion dollars in assets.

Investment consultant during the week, photographer on the weekends - Ryland seeks balance between his analytical and creative sides. Last year, he set a goal to sell just one piece of art. Today, he has sold 125 his photography prints, partnered with five separate CPG brands for lifestyle photography, and shot a number of events for individuals and groups.

Ryland is proud of his ability to balance work and play. When he’s not on the clock, he’s off snapping photos, flying his drone, hitting a surf sesh, or getting a sweat in.

We had a great conversation about his story moving out to LA, his entrepreneurial spirit, his side hustle, overcoming crippling back pain, and cultivating passion every day
